    I went to the sportsman show there this past weekend and everyone was charging $10.00 to $15.00 to park so we parked on the street 2 blocks to the south I think it was and no charge..otherwise there is a ramp….Ill walk 2 blocks again… there was a Wilds game so that may have played in the high parking prices as well..Jay

    I went this afternoon for about 3 hrs. I did manage to check out all the exhibits; but didn’t have enough time to really spend a lot of time at any one exhibit. Talked to John from Royal Flush who had a couple of his British Labs there at the Royal Flush booth. Also talked to Dusty Minke (sp?) and just missed Chris Gilman at the Browning booth. Good show with lots of things to see!

    Guys when you go by the Roy Lake booth stop in and say Hi to Jan (the owner) and Gary (the guide)…then as Jan if she’s been in the ditch lately….

    Apparently she has a hard time keeping the wheels on the road in the winter time.

    Hey Brian!
    I walked right by the Roy Lake booth and thought about saying hi; but I wasn’t sure if it was the IDO sponser or not. Are they the only resort on the lake?

    Wow Pheasant fest was great. I could have spent the whole weekend there. There was alot of info there. The vendors were great and the speaker even better. I will be going next year for sure.

    I hope that you know that it will not be held in the Twin Cities next year. The Pheasant Fest show travels around the US each year. I believe that the last time that it was in Mn was 5 years ago.
    I agree it was a great show. I went with the kids on Sunday. We chatted with John from Royal Flush for awhile. I wanted to say “Hi” to Jan from Roy Lake Lodge but never ran into her. I talked to my dogs trainer and his partner as well at their booth. Lots of great things to see and do. I can not wait for it to return to the metro again.
